Light shelf applications are one of the improved daylight system, help to contribute energy saving by using daylight effective. Latitude is an important parameter that affects the placement and efficiency of light shelf. ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of static shear stress on the liquefaction potential of soil, and to propose a closed-form solution that takes this effect into account. Two-dimensional finite-difference-based ...

In this study, the optimum distribution of the elastic springs in which a built-in cantilever beam is seated, so as to minimize the shear force on the support of the beam, is investigated. The Fourier transform is applied ...

Effects of chemical compositions changes of blended-cement pastes (BCPCCC) on some strength gains of blended cement mortars (BCMSG) were monitored in order to gain a better understanding for developments of hydration and ...

Concrete requires a vast amount of aggregate and cement production. Although there are some efforts in the literature to reduce the amount of Portland cement in the concrete mixture to lessen the greenhouse gas release, a ...

The impact behavior of deflection-hardening High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Concretes (HPFRCs) was evaluated herein. During the preparation of HPFRCs, fiber type and amount, fly ash to Portland cement ratio ...

This study focuses on the examination of the parameters affecting the carbonation performance of low-quality recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) obtained from end-of-life buildings and having low mechanical and chemical ...
